Starmer Condemns Attack
I’m appalled by the attack at a synagogue in Crumpsall.

The fact that this has taken place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, makes it all the more horrific.
My thoughts are with the loved ones of all those affected, and my thanks go to the emergency…
UK’s Prime Minister Starmer condemned the incident and said he was “appalled” by the attack at Manchester Synagogue. Starmer will be cutting short his attendance at a summit of European leaders and will leave the meeting in Copenhagen early to return to the UK. He will chair an emergency crisis meeting, known as COBRA, according to AFP.
Injured People Being Treated
Cops were notified of the attack at 9:31 am (0831), and paramedics have been treating “four members of the public with injuries caused by both the vehicle and the stab wounds,” the police stated on X.
The attack took place on Yom Kippur, which is known to be the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. Following the incident, police had declared “Plato,” a national code word that is used when responding to a marauding terror attack. But it does not signify the attack as a terrorist incident.
